Abstract
Epilepsia refratária ao tratamento medicamentoso é condição que interfere direta e negativamente na qualidade de vida dos pacientes, dificultando-lhes principalmente a integração social. O tratamento cirúrgico tem se mostrado eficaz no controle das crises em casos refratários, ocupando lugar importante no tratamento das epilepsias. Avaliamos a qualidade de vida de pacientes epilépticos, antes e após o tratamento cirúrgico, através de um questionário sobre qualidade de vida, adaptado do QOLIE-10 aplicado em 12 indivíduos epilépticos adultos, operados consecutivamente. O questionário, com 10 perguntas, envolvendo aspectos psicossociais e relacionados às drogas antiepilépticas, foi respondido no período pré-cirúrgico e repetido num intervalo médio de 8 meses após a cirurgia. Na comparação do questionário no período pré-operatório com o período pós-operatório, observamos diferenças estatisticamente significantes em 70% das perguntas, mostrando melhora da qualidade de vida após a cirurgia. Nestes casos, a terapêutica cirúrgica tem forte impacto na qualidade de vida.
Drug resistant epilepsy impairs patients' quality of life making social interaction more difficult. Surgical treatment is an option for seizure control in medically refractory patients. We evaluated pre-operative and post-operative quality of life using a standardized questionnaire based on the QOLIE-10. The questionnaire included ten questions dealing with psychosocial and drug's side effects and was applied before surgery and eight months post-operatively. The studied sample comprised twelve consecutive adult patients with epilepsy treated surgically who were seizure free. Differences were found between the pre-operative and post-operative periods in 70% of the questions, with a better post-operative profile. Successful epilepsy surgery has a great impact in the quality of life of these patients.
